The Howard's of Star Base 12

Lady Eliza Katherine Howard, Lady Samhain's granddaughter

"Don't worry Lord Anthony. Your father just won't let any young man marry the Duchess of Clarence. And furthermore, he won't give them a dowry." Lady Karissa explains.

Although several of the young men are looking, they don't interest Lady Samhain, until she sees her second cousin, Lord David William Beck Senior walk into the ballroom with her second cousin once removed, Lord David William Beck II.

Lord David William Beck II and Lady Samhain grew up together and when they were children. They became inseparable. They complimented each other.

Both were good children, never gave their parents an ounce of trouble, and they were both romantics at heart.

Lord David William Beck Senior walks up with his son, Lord David Willliam Beck II and they bow, and Lord Andrew Charles returns the bow as Lord David William Beck Senior is Earl of Essex Territory and Lady Samhain curtsy to her second cousin, Lord David William Beck out of respect.

From the balcony watching is Lady Karissa and Lord Anthony and he tells his mom "There is the man that is going to marry my sister."

"I know that your grandfather would like to see his granddaughter marry his brother's great-grandson." Lady Karissa tells Lord Anthony.

Lord David William Beck II asks Lady Samhain to dance with him at her cotillion and she accepts and Lord David William II escorts her onto the dance floor and the other young men and woman step aside and they watch Lord David William II and Lady Samhain dance to the "Second Waltz" by one of the greatest Russian Composer, Dmitriyevich Shostakovich.

The other young men and women join Lady Samhain and Lord David William Beck II dance on the dance floor, and it is on that evening in October of 2282 that Lord David William Beck II asked Lady Samhain to marry him.

Nothing pleases Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR more to hear that both of his granddaughters are marrying the grandson and great-grandson of his two brothers.

One year before, Lord Richard Edward Howard III proposes to Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane and nothing pleases Lord Charles Andrew JR to see his eldest granddaughter and his brother's eldest grandson marry each other as they are both the great-grandchildren of Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR who wasn't loved by any of his children, but they loved their mother, Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Churchill.

In December of 2293, Lady Elizabeth and Lady Samhain announced they will marry in a double wedding ceremony in June of 2294.

Lady Elizabeth is the crown princess of the Howard family and Lord Charles Andrew JR states "Lady Elizabeth will be dressed like a Princess when my son walks her up the aisle to marry."

"We must all wear our cornets and Lady Karissa you must wear your tiara." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

Lady Samhain asks her mother "Mom. Do you still have your wedding dress that you married dad in?"

"Why of course it is in my Hope Chest." Lady Karissa tells her.

"May I wear it mom." Lady Samhain asks her mom.

"Why of course. It needs some alteration to fit you. "Lady Karissa tells Lady Samhain.

"You realize it was a maternity wedding dress as I was expecting your oldest sister." Lady Karissa tells Lady Samhain.

"We can have it alternated to fit you and you will look very beautiful." Lady Karissa states, "We will have a bouquet made up of white roses and jasmine for both of you."
